Shower pan is in, 3 of the walls are up, still working on the spacer void, got the drain pipe in and the hot and cold supply lines are above the floor level with shutoff valves installed. the window is cut, too k over night for the shower wall to laminate to the backer board, still waiting for the last 2 to dry and will finish the void frame tomorrow

Not liking me will always be your problem. Never mine.

I never laughed so hard in my life as when I saw the man with one red show, he turned on sink, the toilet flushed, flushed the toilet and the bath ran, it was all fouled up. Did you do yours like that? Wife's gonna be mad.

Well Akai, I turned on the water last night around 2300 and turned on the sink, hot is hot cold is cold However you can hear the water draining sound in the shower stall drain, THAT made me go "oh hell no" until I realized that it will do that until teh shower trap has water in it. And I can't run water in the shower until I finish the viod and install the valve assy. Two more sides to cut and a few 2x4's and I might be ready to test my theroy.

Well I turned on the water to the shower last night and it sprayed EVERYWHERE behind the wall for a split second, so much for the dam instructions, they said screw the cpvc adapters on hand tight, today I cranked them till they stopped squeaking and they don't leak this time Guess the old Navy saying is right, "screw the instructions, crank it til it stops making noise "

Anyway I had to replace the wall section where the shower knob comes through and the seal again, but as I sit here typing this the water is totally on Hot is Hot ion the shower too no leaks at all, and I'm waiting for all the sealer and liquid nails to dry before I hand the shower curtain
all that's left now is outside the shower, 1 piece of 1/4 round 56" long, and I have to make a access door so I can turn the water off 15 years from now when the cpvc fails LOL.
but I WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm sitting here with my Victory beer
I'll take a pic after I hang the curtain and finish the 1/4 round
